I’m in business mode when I call up a potential supplier for one of my most loved and cherished minerals, the rose pink Andara I’ve been working with intensely since last October. I know that the supplier will have to have something special before I can trust that they are supplying me with a true Andara.
There’s a lot of controversy surrounding these minerals. They look like glass and can be easily replicated. It’s tough to tell glass apart from glass, and to tell you the truth, I’m not really sure how you can unless you are in a lab or using your intuition.
I get on the phone with the potential supplier, Skye, and within five minutes of the conversation I know that I’ve found my supplier. I know that she “get’s it’. She “get’s it” beyond myself. I can sense within her a deep respect for the minerals and the processes they undertake us. She tells me a story, a story I can’t recall now, but I do remember one line, a line that I bookmarked in my brain because it was so profound: The minerals work with you when you activate them through intention.
You would think that this is pretty obvious of a statement. The thing is that I never simplified it so succinctly. The way that she told it to me hit me like a missile. Suddenly I saw all the minerals I had worked with and gifted away over the years, the minerals that have shaped me beyond what I will ever know and I understand.
I remember telling a friend about a mineral I had carried with me since I was seventeen. It is a large white mineral with black specks. I had it for years before it was identified as Merlinite, a mineral that stimulates deep intuition and psychic knowing. For all those years that I carried Merlinite with me, even across the country, even when I didn’t know what it was, it always had a spot to be. It was always holding space on an altar, bookshelf, window sill.
The time came for me to gift it away, six years later, and I said to a friend, “I don’t know if it did very much…”
My friend jumped in surprise, and with a playful grin he replied, “The psychic doesn’t think that the Magic of Merlinite didn’t do anything while she developed and honed her intuition the last several years?”
I had to laugh out loud. Of course Merlinite had been a part of my process as I trained and honed my intuition!
That’s how simple it is for the minerals to work with you. I never thought twice about putting Merlinite out – though I wondered what he was and occasionally asked around. I didn’t have any expectations of what he would do, I just knew that he would benefit me.
I simply welcomed him into my crystalline family and honoured his work with me.
It all begins with intention. And it will all end with intention.
Your minerals activate when you intend to activate them. As soon as you say “Welcome to my life.” As soon as you open yourself up, with or without words, to their delicate yet sturdy crystalline structure, you are activating them to work magic in your life. They begin in the subtle realms working into the physical realm in a process of perfect timing.
What else can you expect from slivers of unconditional love?
P.S.
The Andara’s arrive this week! Yay! I will post pictures. 🙂
. They have quite an extensive section on it, the best place to read about it actually.
